沙特同俄羅斯簽訂石油協議

Saudi Arabia and Russia signed a deal to seek cooperation in the oil market, including on limiting output, sending oil prices sharply higher on hopes the two top producers would work together to tackle a global glut.The deal was signed by the country’s energy ministers in China on the sidelines of a G20 gathering and followed a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said the two countries were moving to a strategic energy partnership and that a high level of trust would allow them to address global challenges.The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will hold informal talks in Algeria later this month, and is scheduled to meet officially in Vienna in November. In April, Russia was prepared to freeze output together with Opec but talks collapsed after Riyadh said it would agree to a deal only if Iran participated.
